Boxing Day Crazy
So were you one of the crazy Canadians on the news..?? yes even here in small town Yarmouth, the Canadian tire i heard had to open an hour earlier.. because it was so cold and ppl were queuing at 2am in the morning. These ppl I salute.. and are CRAZY..!!
In Vancouver, more than 200 people lined up outside of a Future Shop in downtown Vancouver to try to get bargains on electronics. In Calgary, parking lots were overflowing at the malls despite icy conditions in the city. And in Winnipeg, even with temperatures dipping to -24 C overnight, hundreds stood in lines outside of stores. In Toronto’s Eaton Centre, more than 300 people were lined up outside of Abercrombie & Fitch for its Boxing Day prices. The store was only letting 50 people in at a time.
So yes..!! i do declare that the Canadians can get quite crazy. I didn’t shop on Boxing day .. like these ppl .. but unlike John Chow .. my reasons weren’t like him. As for Mr Chow.. i’ll have to say that not everyone makes $250 an hour, therefore when ppl do line up to get specials.. it is understandable eh.
